Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to explore the use of inverse local context analysis (ILCA) to obtain data from limited accessible data sources.

Design/methodology/approach

The experimental results show that the method the authors proposed can obtain all retrieved documents from the limited accessible data source using the least number of queries.

Findings

The experimental results show that the method we proposed can obtain all retrieved documents from the limited accessible data source using the least number of queries.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper provides the first attempt to gather all the retrieved documents from limited accessible data source, and the efficiency and ease of implementation of the proposed solution make it feasible for practical applications. The method the authors proposed can also benefit the construction of web corpus.
